The combination of Dahl’s bleak plot turns, from the offscreen death of Luke’s parents to a witch who lures the grieving young boy out of his treehouse with the promise of a pet snake, Roeg’s in-your-face camerawork and Henson’s creature effects make every second of The Witches unencumbered, gleeful torture. Huston and her fleet of bald sorceresses (a few played by stodgy men, who probably disappeared in the crowds in the pre-HD days) hold up as much as my childhood memories would hope. The half-human/half-mouse animatronics are somehow even more gruesome. How was this allowed??? I’m so glad it was allowed. — MP

David Robert Mitchell’s synthy, supernatural thriller is tailor-made for franchising and over-explanation: After having sex with a cursed young man, Jay (Maika Monroe) is stalked by a shape-shifting, demonlike entity whose purpose ... is never communicated. “It” just wants to kill the new infected target. Then the person before them. Then the next person in the viral chain. The only escape is passing the malicious force on through intercourse — an ethical quagmire. Set in a muted-hue version of Spielberg’s suburbia and invested in the teen perspective (as opposed to straight up slaughtering co-eds), It Follows is a tiny masterpiece, joyfully un-sequeled and unknown, that will have you looking over your shoulders as soon as the credits roll. —Matt Patches Kazaam: Drew (Carmen Electra) says it’s her favorite horror movie because Shaq’s acting is so scary.

Many have adapted Bram Stoker’s Dracula over the years to varying effect, but Francis Ford Coppola’s is one of the best. Starring Gary Oldman as the titular count, Coppola’s adaptation leans more into goth than camp, giving the film a lush, operatic vibe. (It also might have led to its ’90s heartthrob stars Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves accidentally being married for real, which is a weird delightful fact.) Air Force One: President Baxter (Leslie Neilsen) wonders at one point what President Ford would have done and glances up at a painting of Harrison Ford.
